Yankees in the Wild Card; Rays Wins AL East
The New York Yankees are headed to their 49th postseason appearance and a chance at an unprecedented 28th World Series title. They had the chance to clinch the AL East but the lost to the Boston Red Sox and Tampa Bay Rays' win over Kansas City Royals gave the Rays the AL East title. Even if they wound up tied, the Rays own the tie-breaker since they won the head-to-head matchup against the Yankees, 10-8.
It will be the Yankees’ fourth wild-card berth and their 15th playoff appearance in the last 16 years and they will open Wednesday at AL Central champion Minnesota. Tampa Bay will start the playoffs at home Wednesday against AL West champion Texas and will have home-field advantage throughout the AL playoffs.
